Kids' Club & Drop-Off Childcare
Supervised session — parent stays
Staff-led activities, but an adult must remain on site. This is not drop-off care.
Collected from the hotel's own website in September 2026 and not yet confirmed by the property, so the childcare part of the score is capped. Please double-check with the hotel before you book.

Dueling Pianos
Interactive live music for adults at The Phoenician Tavern during evenings.
These amenities only score well when there is real childcare to free up the time — a lovely spa with no kids' club earns little here.
